Your home's performance impacts your comfort, health, safety, and finances. 

High-performing home features like energy-efficient HVAC, insulation and air sealing, rooftop solar, and smart home technology can increase your home's value. But only if they're verified and documented properly — otherwise, these valuable assets are easily overlooked during appraisal.

If you've invested in any of the following high-performing home features, don't miss out on the equity they've added to your home. Get them certified by the national leader in home energy certification.

A Pearl Certification Report showcases your home's most valuable assets: energy-efficient HVAC systems, updated insulation and air sealing, renewable power sources like solar, smart home technology, and more.

That's why homes with Pearl Certification earn an average premium of 5% at time of sale compared to non-certified homes.

  • Pearl Certification translates important information about your home's high-performing features into language your appraiser, lender, and potential homebuyers can understand.
  • That helps turn the investments you've made in your home into additional resale value, otherwise known as home equity.
